WE have endeavored to make this 
book an object of beauty, as well 
as of utility. We have sought to show 
Strathmore papers in the best manner, 
and to emphasize their value in the pro- 
duction of fine printing. One who has 
not undertaken a similar task cannot ap- 
preciate the amount of labor and cost it 
involves. It is offered to the trade, to 
printers, to publishers, and to advertisers 
in the hope that it may be useful to them, 
and that it will give them pleasure as a 
worthy example of paper-making, print- 
ing, and book-making. 

We ask that it be accepted with our 
compliments. Do not mutilate it. Ask 
your dealer, or ask us, for sheets or sam- 
ples, for dummies, for proving or testing, 
and they will be gladly furnished.

MITTINEAGUE PAPER COMPANY 

ITS ADVANCEMENT AND PRODUCT 

HEN this Company was organ- 
ized, in 1 892, it was the purpose 
of the founders to begin the 
manufacture of a line of print- 
ing papers that should be unique 
by reason of their quality and their adaptability 
to satisfy a demand that was arising in the paper 
market. How perfectly this intention has been 
realized is shown by the fact that the business 
of our mills has increased from a daily output of 
from two and a half to three tons to a daily out- 
put of from twelve to fifteen tons, and the further 
fact that the floor area of the mills has risen 
from 45,000 square feet to 1 75,000 square feet. 
The product has increased 500 per cent, and 
the floor space 400 per cent. These are sig- 
nificant facts, and they gain significance from 
the further fact that our product is not heavily 
stocked by dealers, and the output is never far 
ahead of the demand. 

Aside from the manifest fact that this is a 
record that must gratify any manufacturer, we 



are gratified, and feel that our judgment has 
been justified, that the demand for such quan- 
tities of the high grade papers we produce 
betokens a substantial increase in the demand 
for artistic printed matter. Some proportion 
of the great advance in the printing art, and 
the increased public appreciation of the beau- 
tiful work of many presses, is manifestly due 
to the "Strathmore Quality" papers that have 
been shipped all over the world from our 
Mittineague Mills during the past fourteen 
years. 

Our endeavor has been to produce papers 
which should be distinctive in appearance and 
texture, with printing qualities that would bring 
out the full value and beauty of type and 
design, and made from stock that insured long 
life and strength. This book is the evidence of 
our success. It shows forty distinct book 
papers, and shows them under conditions that 
provide the printer, publisher or advertiser, with 
a definite basis upon which to form an opinion. 
Nearly all the different methods of printing and 
plate-making are represented among these 
beautiful sample pages. In all of them the 
paper is given its proper place, and its true 
value is admirably brought out. The simple 



typographic effects were chosen to allow the 
paper to be shown in its true relation. Nothing 
in this book is too difficult for any good printer. 
The lesson of it is simplicity, artistic harmony 
and good paper. The printer or advertiser who 
studies the three elements of good printing — 
paper, typography, ink — soon discovers that 
value, beauty, distinction and power depend 
upon his knowledge of paper, type and ink; 
and that the first and most important is paper. 

It would be interesting and instructive to 
give here a sketch of the development of paper- 
making as it is practiced at the Mittineague 
Mills, but it is not possible. We aim, in this 
book, to show what we have done, and are 
doing, rather than how we do it. We have 
studied the paper question constantly, and 
have constantly experimented. The Strathmore 
product is, in consequence, different from any 
other paper, and it is different because the 
processes of its manufacture are different. It is 
made by special machinery, of pure linen and 
cotton rag stock, by workmen who have been 
trained in the Strathmore methods. Every 
smallest detail, every piece of machinery, every 
foot of the mills, is subject to the standard 
of "Strathmore Quality." We have from the 



first appealed to the best printers, the most 
expert advertisers, the most liberal publishers. 
We have challenged intelligence, and we could 
do so in no other way than by the exhibition of 
intelligence. We have put papers into the 
hands of printers, publishers and publicity 
experts that have enabled them to produce 
results that were not only unknown but impos- 
sible before Strathmore papers came on the 
market. 

To summarize, there are forty items of book 
papers in this book, some of which had not 
previously been shown. Twenty-one items are 
antique finish, seven are medium plate finish, six 
are plate finish, and six are fabric finish. The 
printing and cut processes shown include 
photogravures, wood engravings, four-color half- 
tone plates, as also three, two and one color, 
half-tones combined with line engravings, 
"mash outs" by plate and rule with half-tone 
and line, line engravings in colors and in black; 
and a beautiful showing of typographic effects, 
plain and in colors. All of the cuts and typog- 
raphy were made in the ordinary manner, and 
the printing has been executed as the regular 
run of work is put through printshops.

DECKLE EDGE 

THIS paper is identified with the finest productions of 
the world and is distinctly a new departure in paper 
manufacture. It is a valuable addition to the limited number 
of fine papers now on the market and one that possesses 
qualities and characteristics not heretofore developed in a 
machine-made paper. 

The finest quality of new linen rags obtainable constitute 
the elements of this paper, and their manner of treatment 
throughout the entire process of manufacture is such that the 
rag fibre is preserved in its full strength and permanency in 
the finished sheet. 

Never before has a paper been produced that combines 
such strength and durability, long fibre, characteristic 
"flower," purity and permanency of texture and color. In 
these respects it embodies the best qualities of the wonderful 
Imperial Japan, but omits the harsh, severe printing surfaces 
of that famous paper. Instead of which STRATHMORE 
JAPAN is manufactured in three practical finishes: Plate, 
Medium and Antique, thus making the paper applicable for 
all the various printing processes employed in modem repro- 
ductive work and adapted for high grade book, catalogue 
and circular work.

great clouds floated 
about the sky and near

the gloom in the west was swept away

|°JELIEVING as we do that the utmost 
\L frankness is due to the depositors and 
$1 shareholders of every financial institution, 
it has been our practice to elect annually 
three stockholders to examine once or more dur- 
ing the year the " books, accounts, securities, and 
financial condition of the Company." 

These examinations, while useful, are in their 
nature less exhaustive than those made by inde- 
pendent and experienced auditors, and we have 
therefore employed The Audit Company of New 
York to make a thorough examination of our 
operations during 1905, and of our condition at the 
end of that year. The examination began on 
December 1st, 1905, and was completed on Janu- 
ary 10th, 1906. It was made by a corps of men 
experienced in bank work, and embraced every 
detail of the business. The certificate of the Com- 
pany will be found on a later page.

Strathmore Japan 

O PURER paper is possible of man- 
ufacture ana an analysis will snow 
positively an all rag fibre without a 
trace of chemical or mineral Tiller. 
Cln making STRATHMORE 
JAPAN strength, durability and 
permanency are the features sought 
for, with due regard to the requirements of the printer, 
and in obtaining these qualities a wonderful and beautiful 
texture was developed, which has no comparison m any 
paper. The skilful treatment of the new rag stock brought 
out a bright pure color in both the Natural and White. 
The soft, rich tone of the Natural and the clear, clean, 
handsome Wnite are unequalled and add beauty to the 
sheet, and both are as permanent as the fibre. C,No one 
but an expert could detect the right and wrong side of the 
sheet; both print equally well. The paper, on account of 
the different finishes, is adapted to typographic work of 
all kinds, half-tone in one or more colors, photogravure, 
photogelatme, chromolithography, etc. C. Distinctiveness, 
individuality, originality, finest quality, adaptability and 
practicability are some of the characteristic features of 
STRATHMORE JAPAN and the desire of the publisher, 
printer and advertiser for serviceable printed matter, whether 
for high grade, attractive books, pamphlets or advertising 
forms, may be fully satiated in this beautiful paper. 
C Another sample of this item is shown in the signature 
containing the frontispiece and title page, both of which 
are done by the photogravure process. 



STRATHMORE JAPAN 

25 x 38 — Extra Thick, Natural.

EXTRA THICK 

' p^HE regular weight Strathmore Japan 
J- has created a demand for a paper having 
the same characteristics, but a heavier weight for 
cover purposes, folders, programmes, menus, book 
inserts, etc. This demand, therefore, is the rea- 
son of the Extra Thick Strathmore Japan, as 
shown by this and the two following signatures. 
It is carried in the Natural color only, Plate, 
Medium and Antique finishes, and is accordingly 
fitted for use with all the various printing processes 
that would be employed for its uses. 

This new weight is in every way equal in qual- 
ity to the regular weight and has all its many beau- 
tiful and original features, and will be of great 
assistance to the artistic printer in satisfying the 
demand for something new and attractive for high 
grade jobs of the above nature. 

For photogravure work this sheet offers the best 
opportunities for the finest results. Notice the 
beautiful and realistic effect secured in the frontis- 
piece showing the Strathmore Quality Mills. 




I'm sitting alone by the fire, 

Dressed just as I came from the dance, 
In a robe evenj/<w would admire, — 

It cost a cool thousand in France; 
I'm be-diamonded out of all reason, 

My hair is done up in a cue: 
In short, sir, "the belle of the season" 

Is wasting an hour upon you.

N jutting cape the

And Death has strewn 
upon the tawny ground 
Heroes of bronze and 
marble Goddesses 
Whose fame the soli- 
tary herb enshrouds. 
Only at times a herds- 
man, where he leads 
His buffaloes to drink and from his conch 
Sends forth an ancient tune o'er the wide main, 
Lifts his black form against the boundless sky. 
Earth, to the ancient Gods a mother kind, 
Each spring makes bloom all vainly eloquent 
A new acanthus round the capital. 
But man, for dreams ancestral caring naught, 
Hears without shudder in the silent nights 
The sea that mourns in tears her Sirens lost.

PHOTOGRAVURE ON

N the fiftfT page of this signature and for the 
frontispiece and title page will be found three 
examples of photogravure, all executed on 
STRATHMORE JAPAN, regular and extra thick, White 
and Natural, Antique and Medium finishes respectively. 

An examination of these specimens, which show 
three distinct classes of subjects, and represent practi- 
cally the range to which photogravure is put, will show 
the adaptability of this paper in the various items for 
this beautiful process. Note the " lifting qualities " of 
the paper as well as the manner in which it assists the 
plates in bringing out the different tones of the sub- 
jects and the delicate line work and shading of the title. 

The advantages of STRATHMORE JAPAN, regular 
weight, for edition purposes where the photogravure 
process is used for illustrations, is very apparent, and 
the extra thick for inserts, titles, etc.

Of the sweet years,

Who each one in agra-

To bear a gift for mor-

And, as I mused it in 
Jhis antique tongue, 
I saw, in gradual vision through my tears, 
The sweet, sad years, the melancholy years, 
Those of my own life, who by turns had flung 
A shadow across me. Straightway I was 'ware, 
So weeping, how a mystic Shape did move 
Behind me, and drew me backward by the hair ; 
And a voice said in mastery while I strove : — 
"Guess now who holds thee?" — " Death," I said. 
But there 
The silver answer rang: "Not Death, but Love."

DECKLE EDGE BOOK PAPERS 

THIS paper represents the highest possible type of pure 
book paper in that it combines strength, durability 
and permanency with a soft, pliable feel, characteristics 
which heretofore have only been found in the hand 
made papers. 

OLD CLOISTER book paper incorporates the wonderful 
strength and durability of STRATHMORE JAPAN and the 
beautiful, soft, delicate feel of STRATHMORE DECKLE EDGE 
and OLD STRATFORD book papers, and it was only through 
the knowledge obtained and the facilities employed in the 
manufacture of these celebrated papers that the production 
of OLD CLOISTER book papers was possible of accom- 
plishment. 

OLD CLOISTER book papers are in every way equal to 
the best hand made papers in pure rag qualities, perma- 
nency of color and fibre in addition to the features above 
named, and are the superior of these papers in even and 
perfect distribution of fibre and uniformity in thickness, 
color and surface. There is also no perceptible difference 
in the two sides of the sheet. 

To the printer this paper offers opportunities for the 
display of his best mechanical and decorative skill. The 
sheet is perfect to make ready, handle and print and 
permits of the use of type and original cuts on the longest 
runs without injury to either. 

Every essential qualification for books of permanent 
and intrinsic value is present in this paper and it may be 
used for such a class of work with the same feeling of 
entire security as with the best hand made papers, and 
without their excessive cost.

Nor the seas change us, nor the tempests bend: 
Our hands would touch for all the mountain-bars : 
And, heaven being rolled between us at the end, 
We should but vow the faster for the stars.

NLIKE are we, unlike, 
O princely Heart ! 
Unlike our uses and our 
destinies. 

Our ministering two an- 
gels look surprise 
On one another, as they 
strike athwart 
Their wings in passing. 
Thou, bethink thee, art 
A guest for queens to social pageantries, 
"With gazes from a hundred brighter eyes 
Than tears even can make mine, to ply thy part 
Of chief musician. What hast thou to do 
With looking from the lattice-lights at me, 
A poor, tired, wandering singer, — singing through 
The dark, and leaning up a cypress tree? 
The chrism is on thine head, — on mine,the dew, — 
And Death must dig the level where these agree.

DECKLE EDGE BOOK PAPERS 

THE trade name " Strathmore " enjoys an enviable 
reputation in the paper world and was first applied 
to these beautiful papers, which, when placed upon the 
market, were the pioneers of their kind and all others are 
but imitations. The unequalled quality and original fea- 
tures of these papers are responsible for the establishing as 
a standard the Strathmore Deckle Edge Book Papers and 
in a great measure for the success and prestige of the 
name " Strathmore." 

As is well known to the trade, these papers are made in 
narrow widths between Deckle Edges, as shown by oppo- 
site schedule, which permits of the Deckle Edges on each 
page instead of every two alternate pages as in this book* 
and to this feature is due many of the handsomest and 
most artistic pieces of work ever produced in the way of 
booklets, brochures, and other similar light work. 

The quality of the stock is plainly discernible. It is 
positively 99% pure clean rag fibre and contains no chem- 
icals. The Deckle Edges are even and feathery, nothing 
scraggly or coarse about them, and the two sides of the 
sheet are so similar there is no noticeable difference. 

*In order to include the papers in this book they had to be folded 
to the same size as the other papers, but as there is no flat size made 
in Strathmore that will fold as required, it was necessary to cut down 
from the largest size, thus allowing only one Deckle Edge in the flat 
sheet or two in the folded, as shown.

Introductory 

TO live in Washington is in itself a liberal educa- 
tion. For the purposes of study and research 
the advantages of the National Capital are not 
surpassed by those of any other city in our country, and 
it is not difficult to imagine a time when it will be the 
world's greatest educational centre. 

It is essentially the city beautiful, and one of peculiar 
charm. Here are beautiful parks, broad streets, statuary 
and galleries of art, all making a strong appeal to our 
sense of the beautiful. Here are gardens and fountains 
and magnificent architecture in a city whose atmosphere 
is one of repose, quiet, refinement and happiness. 

Washington's climate is the soft and even climate of 
the Seaboard, and the number of those who come from 
the north, east, south and west to enjoy here a winter's 
residence is annually increasing. A more delightful and 
appropriate place to spend one's student days than the 
National Capital can hardly be found. 

Here it is one's privilege to meet men and women 
of eminence in our national life, and to hear discussed

This Medium Plate finish is specially suitable for the finest line work 
and stipple effects. The texture and the formation of the paper permits 
of the best possible type work on all of the finishes ; no ragged edges or 
pin holes. Nor is it necessary to push the type away into the paper to 
secure an even impression. Owing to the uniform thickness and the 
absence of lumps, grit or other hard substances there is no perceptible 
wear on either type or plates in the longest runs on Strathmore. Sheets 
for proving purposes will be gladly furnished by Agents.

OR half-tone work in one or 

Fmore colors where it is desir- 
able to use cuts not finer than 
120 line screen this High Plate 
finish offers many advantages 
over the coated papers. It takes a perfect im- 
pression and the effect is especially soft, deep 
and rich without the glassy and shiny look of 
the coated stock. Strathmore has a pure white 
without the blackish white mottled look of 
many coated papers. Neither is it possible for 
the surface to "pick for the printing surface is 
the paper itself. The harsh, brittle feel of the 
coated stock is also entirely done away with in 
Strathmore. These papers are delightful to the 
touch, being soft and velvety yet having a firm- 
ness that denotes their ingredients. 

For booklets, folders, etc., that are to serve 
a practical purpose as well as be artistic and 
dainty Strathmore Deckle Edge Book Papers 
have exceptional possibilities. Sheets for dummy 
purposes gladly furnished.

{O often a building is dedicated or 
a monument unveiled with slight 
reference, or none, to the man 
from whose mind it was evolved. 
Surely we owe such a one a pass- 
ing tribute, particularly as the future is apt to 
remember him when our names are forgotten. 
The painter, especially, has claims upon us, 
for he, more than others, is called upon to be 
faithful to his ideals. Ceaseless struggle and 
actual privation often mark his early career. 
Not infrequently they prove his gaunt com- 
panions to the end, even though fame pause 
later in her flight to weave a magic round his 
name. 

Charles Yardley Turner attributes his success 
as a painter to his mastery of technique, by hard 
work, and to his determination to understand. 
One would think that art is surely something 
which the worker may take up or throw aside 
at will, working spasmodically if he choose,

In addition to the White, a Cream is now manufactured in these 
papers, as shown by this and the three following signatures. The 
schedule is on the second page of the Strathmore Deckle Edge section. 

This is a very attractive shade and offers opportunities for handsome 
displays. It possesses a suggestion of color, but of a neutral tone, so that 
practically the same color harmonies can be employed as on the White 
and frequently with much more pleasing effects. 

For proving purposes sheets of any items will be gladly furnished by 
Agents.

Particular attention is directed to the beautiful clear pure color of these papers, 
both the White and Cream. This is as permanent as rags can make it, as absolutely 
no chemicals nor mineral filler of any kind are used in the manufacture of the paper, 
which also accounts for the entire absence of any semblance of lumps, grit or other 
foreign substances. All of the papers fold without cracking and emboss perfectly.

(HE Cream, Plate Finish, Strathmore 
Deckle Edge Book Paper, displayed 
in this signature is the only Cream 
shade manufactured for half tone print- 
ing in Deckle Edge papers aside from 
the Natural, Strathmore Japan, which, of course, is 
somewhat different in shade and texture. 

The exceptional beauties of this stock are at once 
apparent both in color and decorative possibilities. No- 
tice the ideal blending of the ink with the paper on all 
the finishes in this shade and the delicate daintiness and 
softness of the opposite half tone as well as its realistic 
reproduction of the artist's drawing. The shade of the 
paper also loses to a great extent the screen of the half 
tone and the general effect is all that could be desired. 
The fine line engraving shown on the first page of 
this signature is another example of the class of work 
that may be faultlessly executed on this stock. The 
Medium finish will also take the same style of cuts in 
a highly satisfactory manner and illustrations of the same 
may be seen in the signatures of this finish, both White 
and Cream.

STRATHMORE DECKLE EDGE 
COVER PAPERS 



THESE are manufactured to be used in connection 
with Strathmore Deckle Edge Book Papers and are 
accordingly made half an inch wider and longer than 
the sizes in the book papers to allow for an overhang with 
Deckle Edges on front and back covers. They are made 
by the same process from nearly the same class of rags as is 
feasible considering the purposes of the two papers and of 
a substantial weight. The finishes in both papers are prac- 
tically the same so that in general appearance and make-up 
the two papers are identical and may be used for the 
complete booklet in perfect harmony. 

They are made in White and Buff as follows: 

White, 9^x24^, 271b. 
» 10^x28^, 321b. 
« 12^x36^, 531b. 
Buff, 9^ x 24^, 27 and 50 lbs.

For samples and information in detail in regard to these 
Covers refer to the "Strathmore Quality" Covers and

shown in this book .

proving or dummy purposes by Agents.

DECKLE EDGE BOOK PAPERS 



/^\LD STRATFORD is an absolutely all rag 
^-^ paper, and the manufacturers guarantee that 
the stock will analyze 99% of pure cotton fibre 
and that no starch or mineral of any kind is used 
in its manufacture. This produces a practically 
permanent sheet. The paper has wonderful bulking 
qualities, far in excess of any other, and consequently 
a lighter weight may be used as compared with 
other makes to bulk up to a required thickness. This 
difference in weight largely offsets the difference in 
cost between OLD STRATFORD and a cheaper stock. 
The nearly identical appearance of the two sides of 
the sheet is another distinctive feature. The right 
and wrong sides are almost unknown factors ; either 
side prints and looks as well as the other. Combined 
with the above characteristics is the beautiful pure 
clear color and incomparable texture, with surfaces 
that are adapted to the various printing processes of 
modern book and smaller work, as shown by this 
and following signatures.

that in itself repays the effort of the climb to Cer-

Fontana or Bibbiena — thronged with tiny saints and 
doctors, angels and putti, akin to the little people of

around the divine group which surmounts the shrine. 

This prodigality of wood-carving, surprising as it 
is in so remote and humble a church, is yet character- 
istic of the region about Brescia and Bergamo. 
Lamberti of Brescia, the sculptor of the famous 
frame of Romanino's Madonna in the church of San 
Francesco, was one of the greatest wood-carvers of 
the Italian Renaissance ; and every church and chapel 
in the country through which we were travelling bore 
witness to the continued practice of the art in some 
graceful frame or altar-front, some saint or angel 
rudely but expressively modelled. 

We lunched that day at Breno, a town guarded by 
a ruined castle on a hill, and sunset brought us to 
Lovere, at the head of the lake of Iseo. It was the

N establishing a school for girls and young 
women at the National Capital, we chose 
to form one of distinctly College grade, as 
offering the most inviting grade and field 
for school work in the city. The wisdom 
of such choice has been fully attested. Education may be 
distinguished as Primary, Academic, College, and Univer- 
sity. The place of the College is between the Academy 
and the University. This place we occupy — offering also 
some years of Primary and Academic work in our Prepar- 
atory School. 

Every young lady, if possible, should have a College 
education, no matter what her work in life may be. Only 
a few women will, or can, enter the professions — except 
that of teaching, and for that the College may prepare. 
All who can, should first do the College work, and then, 
if a higher or a professional training is desired, go to the 
University for that. 

The mission of the Young Ladies' College is to fully 
prepare young women for their places in the home and in 
society. Its work is necessarily more extensive than the

The soft, silky feel of the Medium Plate and High Plate finishes is especially pleasing. Also 
note the absence of any harshness, brittleness or crackle in all the items. These disagreeable 
features are ever present in the cheaper grades owing to the necessary use of mineral filler and 
wood pulp, both of which destroy the life of the color and texture. Old Stratford is practically 
indestructible in this respect, being 99% of pure rag stock. 

The White Wove and Laid Medium Plate finish are for illustrated books containing fine line 
engravings, zinc etchings, wood cuts, etc.

This finish has a half tone printing surface without the repel- 
lent glare and stiffness of the coated papers. For illustrated 
books, this finish permits of the text and illustrations being run 
on the same paper, thus obviating the expensive and objectionable 
insertion of coated stock, thereby securing a much more attractive 
and durable book. 

Note the beautiful, soft, restful effect obtained with half tones 
on this paper, as shown by illustrations. We advise that the 
screen of the half tones be not finer than 120 line for the best 
results.

Five years have now 
passed since he left us — and 
the world that will forever 
love and mourn him. Five 
times have the seasons run their course since he fell 
asleep beside the Avon, never to waken more. Five 
long and lonely years! And yet — and yet — to me it 
seems that he is never far away. Lonely in body have 
I been, but never hath my soul dwelt solitary. My 
grief for him is as no other's; yet my joy is such as 
none can ever take from me. I was his, he was mine. 
The world's poet was my beloved, too. It makes me 
almost catch my breath to say it, and I often marvel 
why this crown of my life was given me. 'Tis a mys- 
tery sweet as strange, a very sacrament of wonder and 
of love. And a mystery, whether human or divine, we 
may adore, but never comprehend. 

For I was Shakespeare's sweetheart — verily and 
alone his sweetheart, even after I became his wedded 
wife. From that first wondrous day when we read in 




each other's eyes the new-born love which was to live 
forever, to the time when he left me for awhile, five 
years ago; nay, even until now, I am Shakespeare's 
sweetheart. And so it is my right, as it is also my 
pride and delight, to tell the story of our love for the 
great multitudes who held Will dear, for the shadowy, 
unborn multitudes who shall pay homage to his mem- 
ory in years to come. Truly, the story is sacred to me ; 
but he is not mine alone; he is also the world's, the 
world that loved him, that he loved. 

After all, however, Master Ben Jonson is respon- 
sible for my trying to tell this tale of mine. For yes- 
terday, with a great noise and bustle, as is his wont, 
he rode up to the gates of New Place and called loudly 
for me. I was sitting in the garden, sewing, and the 
instant after he had bellowed forth my name he be- 
held me. 

"Good-morrow, Mistress Shakespeare," he cried, 
waving his hand to me. " Thou art the very dame I 
wish to see. Art weary, art busy ? If so, I will leave 
my errand until later. This sorry nag of mine must 
be stabled at the inn;" and he gave a vicious dig at 
the poor beast he bestrode. Master Jonson is not at 
his best on horseback.

" I am neither weary nor busy, Master Jonson," I 
replied, walking down to the gateway, that we might 
converse more freely. "Pry thee, come in at once; Will's 
friends are always welcome at New Place." 

" Marry, it is about Will that I would speak with 
thee," he said, bluntly, looking at me with shrewd, 
kindly eyes. "Moreover, I am mistaken sorely if my 
errand shall not please thee. Nameless, on my way 
hither I ordered dinner at the inn, and I must e'en go 
there first. Then I will return, an it like thee. I have 
many things to talk about." 

I expressed my pleasure at the prospect, and he 
looked delighted. "I will return, then, as speedily as 
may be," he said, beginning a somewhat unsuccessful 
attempt to turn his horse about. "Au revoir, Mistress 

Shakespeare, and may all the gods of Olympus 

The devil take thee, thou evil-faced, sorry steed! Ac- 
cursed be the day I hired thee! Wilt thou obey my 
rein? Ah, at last. Go on, thou imp of Satan ! " With 
which cheerful adjuration Master Jonson ambled away, 
too absorbed in guiding his steed to take further notice 
of me then. 

I laughed a little as I watched his ungraceful 
progress; but as I turned from the gate I sighed.

The opaqueness, bulk and firmness of the 60 lb. Wove and Laid 
OLD STRATFORD is equal to considerably heavier papers in other 
brands. The similarity of the two sides of the sheet is particularly 
noticeable in this weight also and the type impression clear cut and 
sharp.

THE history of the Baltimore banks is a 
record of which the city is, and well may 
be, proud, and which other financial cen- 
tres may envy her without blame, for it is a 
record of true enterprise linked to wise con- 
servatism ; and the combination has given the 
banks of the Monumental City a fame for 
solid security that is world-wide. And the 
best of the history of Baltimore's banks is 
epitomized in that of the Citizens National, 
the officers of which review with satisfaction 
each step of the progress of the institution 
from the time of its organization as a State 
bank in 1 849 to the present. Since that long

This sheet has a distinctive character not possible in the 
Wove papers, and the beautiful ribbing secured is not met with 
elsewhere. 

This and all of the papers take embossing perfectly, and the 
effect obtained with blind embossing is most gratifying and 
striking. The 80 lb. Rough Antique, Laid or Wove, is most 
desirable, however, as the rough finish offers a pleasing contrast 
with the smooth surface of the embossed part. Samples of 
embossing will be furnished on application. 



THE SONNET 



vHAT is a sonnet? lis 
the pearly shell 
That murmurs or the 
far-off murmuring sea ; 
A precious jewel carved 
most curiously ; 
It is a little picture 
painted well. 

^Vhat is a sonnet ? lis the tear that fell 

From a great poets hidden ecstasy ; 

A two-edged sword, a star, a song — ah me! 

Sometimes a heavy-tolling funeral hell. 

This was the flame that shook with Dante s 
hreath ; 

The solemn organ whereon Milton played. 

And the clear glass where Shakespeare s 
shadow falls : 

A sea this is — heware who ventureth ! 

For like a fjord the narrow floor is laid 

Mid-ocean deep to the sheer mountain walls.

HE Belle vieu -Manchester Apartments are 
I situated in the central part of the very best 

northern residential section. The elevation 
is unusually high, the location sufficiently removed from 
the noise and impure atmosphere so common to the 
more congested sections, and is generally recognized as 
one of the most healthful in the city. 

An excellent view of Eutaw Place and Madison 
Avenue may be had from both buildings, while the 
main entrance to Druid Hill Park is only four blocks 
away. The architectural scheme is designed to reflect 
simple elegance and is especially free from that quality 
of cheap ornamentation which often mars the outward 
appearance of buildings of this character. The basement 
extends entirely under both buildings, but above the 
ground floor they are separated by a large open space 
beautified by grass, flowers and fountains. 

This scheme represents the very latest architectural 
improvements and is the only plan whereby each apart- 
ment may enjoy not only a front view but have plenty

By permission of Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 







THIS signature shows the Toned, Laid, Smooth 
Antique Finish, OLD STRATFORD, and it 
will be noticed that the shade has been deepened 
and is more pronounced than that formerly manufactured, which 
was hardly distinct enough. 

The present Toned is a very beautiful shade, especially 
soft and restful to the eye, and its presence as a color is barely 
perceptible and, therefore, one that never becomes tiresome or 
offensive. Its permanency is absolute and in combination with 
OLD STRATFORD quality represents a most admirable 
sheet of paper. 

The piece of half-tone work shown on the opposite page 
is exceptionally striking and extremely unusual in that it is 
executed on a Laid sheet and its duplication on any but OLD 
STRATFORD texture is doubtful. This was accomplished 
by mashing out the paper with a hot brass plate on a job 
press and a 1 2 line cut run in the usual manner. Notwith- 
standing the tremendous pressure brought to bear upon the stock 
there is not the least indication of a break and the paper feels 
as firm and substantial as the rest of the signature. The effect 
is certainly very beautiful and the depth and richness of tone 
of the subject is much enhanced by the surrounding Laid marks. 
This class of work may also be repeated with gratifying success 
on the other Antique papers in OLD STRATFORD either 
Wove or Laid.

DECKLE EDGE BOOK PAPERS 

TO produce a paper that could be sold at a medium price 
and still have many of the characteristics of the all rag 
papers shown in this book was only made possible through 
being able to employ the facilities and special machinery used 
in the manufacture of those papers. That a successful paper 
along these lines has been produced is shown by these sam- 
ples of Alexandra Book. Alexandra is not a pure rag 
paper as are the other papers shown, nevertheless it contains 
about 90% of clear rag stock and does not contain any starch 
or chlorides. The sheet is well formed, has good body and 
strength. It is soft and pliable to the touch and the deckle 
edges are even and feathery. The bulking qualities are un- 
equalled by any other moderate priced paper and the nearly 
identical appearance of the two sides of the sheet is also a 
distinct advantage. The specimens of work shown here- 
with, which were executed under ordinary conditions, dem- 
onstrate that the different finishes in which the papers are 
carried give entirely satisfactory printing surfaces and oppor- 
tunities for the finest press work. It will be further noted that 
owing to the excellence of the manufacture of ALEXANDRA 
the finished printed form more nearly approaches the results 
obtained on the all rag papers shown in this book than any 
other medium price stock.

i OYS differ as much in their intellectual needs, as in 
their personal appearance. One is stupid and can 
take few studies, another is bright and makes rapid 
progress. One begins his school work at fourteen, 
another at five. One has lived abroad and speaks French and 
German, another is strong in English, but weak in mathe- 
matics. One is being prepared for a college requiring Greek, 
another for a technical school where he will specialize in 
science. In a word, in previous training, in mental ability, 
and in future plans, no two boys are exactly alike. 

Corresponding to this wide difference in the boy there should 
be a similar difference in his mental training ; each pupil in a 
school should be considered not as one of a class but rather as 
an individual ; a careful study should be made of his peculiar 
needs ; he should take few studies or many as is best for him ; 
his advancement in one study should not affect his standing in 
others ; he should begin each at that point for which his pre- 
vious training has fitted him. In a word, the school unit should 
be the boy not the class. 

The Washington School was one of the first in the country 
to recognize fully the difference in the intellectual needs of its 
pupils and it is one of the few which, by discarding entirely a 
rigid course of study, carries the principle to a logical conclu- 
sion. In place of the fixed curriculum, the grade, or the form 
found in most schools, there are offered in The Washington 
School seventy-eight different courses each representing from 
a half-hour to three and a half hours of class room work a 
week. From these courses the Head-Master selects for each

BECAUSE you passed, and now are not — 
Because, in some remoter day, 
Your sacred dust from doubtful spot 
Was blown of ancient airs away — 
Because you perished — must men say 
Your deeds were naught, and so profane 

Your lives with that cold burden ? Nay, 
The deeds you wrought are not in vain! 

Though, it may be, above the plot 
That hid your once imperial clay, 

No greener than o'er men forgot 
The. unregarding grasses sway — 
Though there no sweeter is the lay 

From careless bird — though you remain 
Without distinction of decay — 

The deeds you wrought are not in vain! 

No. For while yet in tower or cot 
Your story stirs the pulses' play; 

And men forget the sordid lot — 
The sordid care, of cities gray — 
While yet, beset in homelier fray, 

They learn from you the lesson plain 
That life may go, so Honor stay — 

The deeds you wrought are not in vain ! 

Heroes of old! I humbly lay 

The laurel on your graves again ; 

Whatever men have done, men may — 
The deeds you wrought are not in vain.

items for all media, viz.: Pen, Pencil, 
Brush, Charcoal and Crayon. The variety 
is such that any person may find a paper 
or board especially suited to his partic-

ART TO BE VENERATED MUST NEEDS BE OLD 

Antique Art 

AND ITS SURVIVALS 



THE PAST IS THE FASHION PLATE OF ART 





Y 



"OU are cordially invited to inspect our incomparable 
stock of High Class and Original Antiques, botk 
restored and in the rough. Our showrooms include 
many of the finest and rarest specimens of Colonial, 
Chippendale, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton Furniture 
. . extant. Especial attention is called to our exhibit 
of fine old original Chairs, a line well worthy of critical inspection. From 
the prodigal periods of Louis XV and XVI we are showing many exquisite 
pieces, resplendent with those rich and extravagant embellishments which 
speak more eloquently than words of the gilded decadence and refined 
degeneracy of the times which they have survived. In this connection we 
are also offering some very beautiful types of Empire Art. 
C Especial note is made of the very fine and curious old Grandfather s 
Clocks and the old English Mantel and Chime Clocks which will prove of 
exceptional interest to connoisseurs of this line. 

C Our display of old Silver Pieces in rare and exquisite designs, Sheffield 
and other renowned makes, is most geherous and worthy of review. 




HEN shall thy light break 
forth as the morning, 
and thine health shall 
spring forth speedily: and 
thy righteousness shall 
go before thee; the glory 
of the Lord shall be thy 
rearward. & Then shalt thou call, and 
the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, 
and He shall say, Here I am. If thou 
take away from the midst of thee the 
yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and 
speaking vanity; & And if thou draw out 
thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the 
afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in 
obscurity, and thy darkness be as the 
noonday: & And the Lord shall guide 
thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in 
drought, and make fat thy bones: and 
thou shalt be like a watered garden, and 
like a spring of water whose waters 
fail not. <& And they that shall be of 
thee shall build the old waste places; 
thou shalt raise up the foundations of 
many generations; and thou shalt be 
called The repairer of the breach, The 
restorer of paths to dwell in.

CERTAIN features of a Casualty Company's 
work should be looked into with great care 
in order to be sure that the company's dis- 
position is broad and fair, and that it is finan- 
cially able to live up to its contracts. 
If The Company's many appreciative letters from 
policyholders present the best possible proof of the 
fairness of its disposition and methods. 
€j| The unusually well selected character of the Mary- 
land's investments, and its very large surplus to 
policyholders, furnish conclusive evidence of the 
ability and conservatism of its financial management. 
^ It is a well known fact that certain securities appear 
to be favorites with speculators. When there is a 
boom in the stock market, they advance with it ; when 
the reaction comes, they drop. These conditions are 
reflected in the financial statements of companies 
holding them, so that in boom times their surpluses 
increase, and when the drop comes, they shrink. 
The securities of the Maryland, however, are not 
that kind, as a reference to its statement will show. 
<| Every investment proposition which is offered to 
it is most carefully scrutinized and investigated so 
that the company's holdings are limited to only the 
most approved and safest securities. No investment 
which has the slightest speculative feature is tolerated. 
<| The Maryland has built for itself an enviable repu- 
tation for fairness in its dealings with claimants. An 
agent of the Maryland will get for his clients the 
quickest settlement of all claims consistent with rea-

(ROM the pre-historic pots and crucibles of 
primitive man, to the beautiful products in 
wedgewood, faience and illuminated tiles of 
the present day, Clay and its products have 
held sway as one of the essential elements in 
the arts, sciences and manufactures. Its dura- 
bility and sanitary properties, even under the crude processes 
of the ancients, are evidenced in the excavations at Pompeii, 
and by the ceramic ware handed down by the Aztecs and the 
Cliff Dwellers. 

C The evolution from the coarse vessels of the ancients to 
the wares of today is not more marked than from the mud 
houses of the savages to the products in terra cotta, faience 
and tiles of modern manufacture, but the material, good 
honest Clay, is the same, and will endure forever. 
C Tiles were used freely by the Orientals in the Middle Ages, 
some of the best examples of which are still found at Damascus, 
Cairo, Moorish Spain and in the Mosques of Persia. From 
the twelfth to the sixteenth century the beautiful lustred tiles 
were much used, and in the sixteenth century majolica tiles 
were produced in southern Spain, rare examples of which still 
exist in the Alhambra, and in Italy there are many fine speci- 
mens from the master hand of Lucca Delia Robbia. 
C From the twelfth to the sixteenth century, floor tiles were 
produced in the northern countries of Europe, but as late as 
the sixteenth century tiles for mural decoration were imported 
from Spain into England.

C In the last century England, Germany and France have 
made great advancement in the manufacture of tiles, but it 
was not until the latter part of the last century that the 
attention of American manufacturers was turned to this 
product, and while we still import from Europe certain lines 
of ceramics, particularly in the mosaic, yet the commercial 
enterprise of America prevails, and there are today some 
eighteen factories in this country, using the most modern 
methods, and producing tiles, particularly in the encaustic, 
hydraulic and glazed kinds which are unsurpassed in the 
world. 

<L Ceramic mosaics were only introduced in this country after 
1880, and there are many excellent examples of them in the 
large buildings of Baltimore. They possess many advantages 
over marble mosaics, are imperishable, and in pavements the 
wear of a lifetime is scarcely perceptible, and on account of 
this, and because of their close texture and wide range in 
colorings, they have practically supplanted marble mosaics in 
Europe and will do so in this country.

A CRY FROM THE SHORE 



C 



OME down, ye gray beard mariners. 
Unto the wasting shore ! 
The morning winds are up. The gods 
Bid me to dream no more. 
Come, tell me whither 1 must sail, 

What peril there may be, 
Before I take my life in hand, 
And venture out to sea." 

"We may not tell thee where to sail, 

Nor what the dangers are: 
Each sailor soundeth for himself, 

Each hath a separate star. 
Each sailor soundeth for himself: 

And on the awful sea 
What we have learned is ours alone; 

We may not tell it thee." 

"Come back, O ghostly mariners, 

Ye who have gone before ! 
I dread the dark, impetuous tides : 

1 dread the farther shore. 
Tell me the secret of the waves; 

Say what my fate shall be — 
Quick! for the mighty winds are up, 

And will not wait for me." 

" Hail and farewell, O voyager ! 

Thyself must read the waves: 
What we have learned of sun and storm 

Lies with us in our graves ; 
What we have learned of sun and storm 

Is ours alone to know. 
The winds are blowing out to sea. 
Take up thy life and go ! " 

Ellen Mackay Hutchinson
